Śambhurāma (शम्भुराम) or Śambhurāma Miśra (18th century) alias Śambhunātha Miśra, son of Sītārāma and disciple of Śrīnivāsa is credited with a metrical text named Chandomuktāvalī. He mentions one Hariguru in his invocatory verse, who probably was his preceptor. He was a Brahmin by caste and belonged to Kāśyapagotra. He was also a devotee of Lord Hayagrīva. He mentions about his gotra, name of his father in the end of the work and the name of his preceptor in colophon. He says with full of devotion that the work is dedicated to Lord Hayagrīva and the learned mass should relish the metrical testimony from it.
